Download NewsLeecher 5.0 Beta 17

A new beta release of NewsLeecher version 5.0 has been released. With this program it is possible to download files from newsgroups in a simple way. The program supports nzb files, has a SuperSearch, and can automatically check downloaded files for integrity and completeness, and then extract them independently. New in version 5.0 is, among other things, that tabs have been added to the SuperSearch. In addition, there is now a SuperSearch Watchdog and work is underway to improve the user interface. The changelog for this release shows the following changes and improvements:

Note:

• This release requires that you re-register the NewsLeecher application, via the registration dialog inside NewsLeecher. So be sure to have your NewsLeecher members area access data ready, before installing.

New:

• Hooked up SuperSearch cache cleanup code that will periodically delete outdated SuperSearch cache files (*.ssr) from the disk.
• It is now possible to change the max width setting for the tabs located on the NewsLeecher main window, from : Settings -> Adv. Nerdy Tweaks -> GUI Tabs Max Width Note that the tab order has been reset in this release.

Changes:

• For easier backup possibilities, the personal NewsLeecher license key, is now saved to a disk file instead of the Windows registry. The license key file is saved to this location : “%appData%\NewsLeecher\newsleecher.keyfile.v5.dat”. We are working on making it possible to save the key file to the same location at the NewsLeecher executable, to make it easier to run NewsLeecher in registered mode, from portable storage devices.
• Improved a lot of the code associated with the SuperSearch bookmark manager, to make the management of the bookmarks easier to understand and more flexible.
• It is now possible to change the personal email address associated with the NewsLeecher members area, and still be able to use SuperSearch, without having to update the NewsLeecher license key first.
• Changed the max width of the NewsLeecher main window tabs and renamed the caption on the “Repair & Extract” tab to “Extract”.
• The ‘Article Grouping’ code now detects, and groups, a couple of new article subject formats. Formats : *.#” and *.##” where # represents a digit.

Improvements:

• Visual theme improvements and other smaller improvements.

Fixed:

• Smaller bug fixes.
